cardinals are the things with feathers that perch within the soul.
If you can get one more scoreless inning out of Thompsan, I'd call it a success
It’s not his fault he’s matched up against a lefthanded pitcher.

i think brendan ryan covers as much ground in 9 innings
as landon donovan did during a 90 minute game at the confed cup
If he gets in trouble
They need to get him out of there. Seriously. Why do we have like 74 pitchers on this staff otherwise?
I'd honestly bring in Pinata tomorrow, especially in the late game.
Sinkerballers are better when tired, anyway.

Thompson has not been the same since his DL trip a while back.

was that really safe?

i've lived abroad.
however, i don’t think you can fault someone for saying something “bad” in a foreign language if they don’t know what they’re actually saying. throwing letters together to make gibberish (heioeho) is fine in my mind.
now, that might be a swear word in tagalog, but i don’t really care. not because i’m a jerk, but because that’s not how i intended it.

that's my point exactly
You may not care. That’s up to you.
If you want to not-care, that’s fine. But don’t assume Cardinals fans and VEB readers are only have English as a first language, and only live in the U.S. We all know that’s not the case. If you wanna give off a certain impression to those posters, that’s up to you. I’m not stopping you.
We could’ve just corrected the spelling and left it at that. Keeping it going wasn’t an “accident”.
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear." - THT
Keeping what going?
Phonetic spelling? No one was making fun of anybody!
Look, I tend to be rather PC, but this is ridiculous. No one is insulting anyone.
People were phonetically spelling “words” to make the original faux pas less offensive. Yes, in English. But not at the exclusion of, or to injure, those who speak other languages. If they’re on here, they clearly speak English and could see what we were doing. Phonetic spelling is FAR different than mocking someone’s language or heritage. And who were we insulting? There was no distinction! It’s not like we decided to mock all Czechs or all Somalis. If we mocked someone, we mocked EVERYONE. That is called humor.
If I’ve offended any ESL speakers – which I very much doubt – I’m sorry.

i think he’s either going to pitch well or get lit up.
also, i don’t agree with the order of pitchers tomorrow. i think A.D.A.M. should be going in the day game to avoid overtaxing the bullpen in the first game.
by stlcardinalsfang on Jul 11, 2009 5:42 PM EDT up reply actions
yeah
OTOH, given AW’s pitch count the last few starts, he needs to ideally pitch 5 or 6 and then sit down with a nice lead. And he wouldn’t be able to do that if he started the first game.
the end of every half inning IS a turning point. -Evilfrog
That
and Tony wants to give him the max amt of rest after his last 120+ pitch outing. Makes sense to me.

when we were still in the game at 3-1, he leaves him in to bat leadoff and then come back out to pitch…now that we are really out of it, tony decides to use the bullpen…brilliant

How did Kinney, McCellan, and Wellemeyer earn so much playing time
Yet other and possibly better pitchers never get a chance to play. I really don’t get how we evaluate players on this team

Kinney has a sum total of 41 MLB IP
And a FIP of 4.37 over them. That’s not very good for a releiver. Since coming back from injury its up to 7.72.
McClellan has been the definition of lucky as a cardinal. His fip is almost 2 highter than his ERA so he has looked a lot better than he has pitched. A k/bb of 1.64 isn’t all that hot.
yea thats a strange comment

He made...
a fantastic pick on a ball in the dirt, he came up with it in his glove, and in one move threw a strike to AP.
ball nearly hit LHB's foot, took a bad hop
and yadi somehow stabbed it and threw a perfect strike to first.

he back handed the ball
as it bounced on the ground, and whirled the ball to first.

Why is that that...
1) Albert never gets to come up to bat as the tying or go ahead run in the 9th?
and
2) It is inevitable that a Cardinal strikes out to end the game when they are the tying or go ahead run at the plate in the 9th?
Glaus
1-1 with a single and a run scored. He’s DHing…which doesn’t make a ton of sense because its his defense that needs evaluating, apparently.

OT: computer still acting up
Although I got some good advice yesterday from spants and prophetjohn, my computer is still locking up whenever it goes to standby. We cut out some unneccessary start up programs and I downloaded and ran spybot. However, today, my startup is even slower and I am still locking up after going idle. the last time it happened, the screensaver was running and when I moved the mouse the screensaver went away, but the cursor stayed as the little circle instead of going to an arrow and when I attempted to do anything, firefox went to the background like I was going to the desktop, but nothing happened.
Everything is fine, as long as I don’t allow it to go into a standby state. Any suggestions??
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
deactivate your standby. . .
I’m assuming you’ve already done the normal defrags and cleanups.
Future Redbirds - tracking Cardinal prospects for Cardinal Nation
this'll probably work
but you’re only eliminating the symptoms and not the problem.
if none of your security software is finding anything, the best thing to try is to system restore it back to a date when it was working well. failing that, you might have to back up your files and format/reinstall windows
unless anybody else has anything. the problem is admittedly a little vague
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
yeah, i've done that
Restored at the first sign of problems, but didn’t resolve even with that. Sorry I cant give more detailed info, I like to think I know more than the average joe about this stuff, but I admit that I’m no IT guy.
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
really
these problems are hard to describe. it’s be difficult to give you sound advice unless i could get my hands on your computer and check it all out
what OS are you running?
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
windows vista
haven’t had any complaints at all before this.
I have an option for allowing someone to connect to my computer wirelessly to assist, but it has to be someone specific that you invite. I thought that there would be an option to connect to someone in tech support to get the assistance. Maybe I’m overlooking something?
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
nah, you could definitely do that
there’s a thing like that where i work, where they go to a website and make themselves available for me to remote into their computer.
okay, well i did a little googling and it seems like this might be a glitch with vista and its ability to wake the hard drive after sleeping. try this
start > in the start search box type “sleep” > click on the “change when the computer sleeps” option > change advanced power settings > click the plus sign next to hard disk > click the plus sign next to turn off hard disk after > change both both of them to never (1 below 0)
the names of what to click on might be slightly different because i’m running win7, but it should be essentially the same.
this way, your computer will still go into a low power state at sleep, but your hard drive will just be idle instead of essentially turned off
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
thanks
you are correct, the steps were a little different, but I figured it out and got it changed. Also, after doing another system restore it seems to be operating quicker. Hopefully with all of the changes it will remain that way. Thanks again for all the help, it is greatly appreciated.
Odd thing happened after restoring. Firefox was giving me an error, something about unable to run due to chrome incompatibility. Googled it, tried a simple fix from a forum somewhere out there and it doesn’t seems to have corrected it.
I was worried at first when coming back from the system restore. Sat here staring at a blue screen for about 5 minutes waiting for it to restart. But, everything seems fine now that it got restarted and I eliminated the extraneous startup programs. Thanks again for the help!
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
I think I have
done all the basic scans and such. Defrag auto-runs every wed. Been having the problem for about 2 weeks now.
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
Sorry to hear that scoot.
Not sure where to go from here, other than Az’s suggestion that you disable standby. Also, set your screensaver to be a blank screen as it will probably take less effort for the computer to handle that.
Are you running the newest version of Firefox?
"If I prepare myself, my stuff is good and I'm going to get outs. That is a fact." - Chris Carpenter
yep, newest firefox
and I have disabled standby and turned off my screensaver. I guess I’ll let it ride like this for a couple more weeks til I get back to school and get a guy to take a look at it there.
A couple of other weird things going on- IE locks up if I try to use it (which I never do, so no big deal, right?) and the little news feed on my desktop is stuck- hasnt updated the stories since the 29th of June.
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
Bizarre.
This sounds like an OS issue.
Did you do the system restore before you had issues or after?
"If I prepare myself, my stuff is good and I'm going to get outs. That is a fact." - Chris Carpenter
restored after the issues
Think I should restore further back and see if that makes a difference, or am I destined for a format and reinstall?
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
Might as well try it.
But yeah, sounds like a long day is in your future.
"If I prepare myself, my stuff is good and I'm going to get outs. That is a fact." - Chris Carpenter
going through the restore points
the last date for an update to the news feed was the 29th. I had a driver install on the 30th. Im hoping that is the culprit. Going to restore to that point and go to bed . . . hopefully tomorrow will bring a healthy PC. Again, thank you for your help!

You have to admire
Pinella for his aggressive posture by throwing Zambrano against Lohse in the first game.
The real “sub dialog” here is a threat to throw at Lohse which the press has made such a big issue about. I trust Lohse will fire back. I hope they won’t have him turn to bunt before Zambrano even starts the wind up like usual. I’m hoping they are calling this game from the dugout , no offense LaRue.
Nightcap will be tough if the Cubs capture momentum in the day game. Waino’s breaking stuff will be better in the nightcap on that field is the thinking I would wager. Lets get back to back complete games.
I'm watching Rookie of the Year for the first time
It is difficult to watch a game with this much cubby in it….

Think about it like this...
The Cubbies sucked so bad at that point in time, they had to sign a 13 year old just to get people come watch them play. Does that help?
Dick and Dunk, the answer to your pitcher's problems...
absolutely!
Actually, When the cub’s batting coach started choking, I laughed my face off!
And the 13 year old runs the bases much like I imagine Boog would if he could!
Cheers!
